It was a shit game but take the 3 and call it a day. Hope the Spurs finally do their late season collapse.
A month ago we would have lost 3-1. Thought the conditions hurt ys. Also, just my 2 cents, but a midfield 3 of Kante, Fab, and Baka is just awful for us. Not trying to complain because I genuinely thrilled with 3 points considering how bad we played in the second half. We just don't get any support from that midfield going forward once teams push higher and press us.
The rain coming in during the match made it a poor watch. Players sliding all over the place meant very little cohesion was possible. Though eden looked lively. Courtois just doesn't control his area, bad sign for a keeper. Bakayoko is laughably bad. You could put him in a midfield 3 with Johann cruyff and maradona and it would look toothless and uncreative. Liking what I am seeing so far from emerson. Wish he could play on the right.
We had only 3 attackers on the pitch and it showed after the first goal. Baka is supposed to be an attacker but he isn't. Frustrating game but we won.
